Spoiler-Free Iron Man 2 Review

Posted by CmdrTaco on from the where's-my-arc-reactor dept.

Although it's not out until May 7, brumgrunt sent us a spoiler-free review of Iron Man 2. The short verdict is that it's not as good as the last one, but considering how much acclaim was piled on that, I don't really think anyone was expecting that.

    I'm tagging as !spoilerfree and spoilerlight. Might help others avoid making a mistake.

  2. First one by Enderandrew · · Score: 4, Insightful

    RDJ is charismatic. The first film was fun. It may be the best looking BluRay I own. But most of us went in with relatively low expectations and were impressed. That doesn't mean the first film deserved all the praise it got. It doesn't hold up really well to repeat viewings. There isn't a whole lot of great action or tension.

    Watch Iron Man again. Then watch Dark Knight again. Tell me Iron Man is in the same class.

    I've been hoping this film would be a marked improvement over the first one and have better action sequences.
